About Everyday Principal

Everyday Principal is a leadership development organization built to do one thing: transform how school districts grow their leaders. We believe that great principals are not born—they are built. Our mission is to equip principals and assistant principals with the tools, systems, and coaching they need to lead with skill, clarity, and endurance.

We don’t offer quick fixes or one-off workshops. Instead, we provide a research-backed, system-based model that embeds leadership learning into the daily practice of school leadership—making professional growth sustainable, practical, and impactful.

Our Philosophy: Leadership Is the Strategy

At Everyday Principal, we believe that leadership is the single greatest lever for school improvement. A strong principal amplifies teacher performance, strengthens culture, and drives student success. Our work is grounded in The Ceiling Principle, which teaches that a leader’s influence is capped until they create conditions for growth that last beyond their direct presence. Our mission is to help leaders:

Raise their ceiling of impact through continuous improvement.
Remove limits on leadership by creating systems that outlast individuals.
Lead every day with clarity, energy, and purpose.

The Everyday Principal Leadership Academy (EPLA)

The Everyday Principal Leadership Academy is our signature framework for principal and AP development. It replaces episodic PD with a structured, district-integrated system that aligns leadership growth to what matters most in schools: instructional clarity, culture, and sustainability.

Through five immersive onboarding sessions and year-round support, leaders build shared language, sharpen their skills, and create conditions for lasting improvement:

Flow – The Peak State of Leadership: Aligning mindset, energy, and purpose for optimal performance.
Identity – Leading from Who You Are: Leveraging authentic leadership identity to build trust and influence.
Culture – The Invisible Architecture of Schools: Becoming intentional architects of resilient school culture.
Skilled Leadership – Beyond Procedures: Moving from procedural management to adaptive, precision-driven leadership.
The Infinite Game – Designing for Endurance: Building leadership systems that outlast any one person or position.

These sessions set the foundation for a three-year journey of coaching, collaboration, and systems design that elevate leadership across every building.

The Everyday Principal LMS: A System for Continuous Growth

The Everyday Principal Learning Management System (LMS) is the engine that powers sustainable leadership development. It’s not just a resource library—it’s a living, district-integrated platform that tracks engagement, awards CEUs, and houses every asset leaders need to grow.

The LMS provides:

Tier 1: Baseline Learning – Podcasts, blogs, and microlearning modules for practical, just-in-time insights.
Tier 2: Collaborative Learning – Peer troubleshooting groups, facilitated leadership collaboratives, and shared problem-solving spaces.
Tier 3: Customized Learning – District-aligned courses, targeted coaching, and advanced system-design tools and micro learning powered by Headway.

This tiered design ensures leaders move beyond theory and into actionable practice, supported by district-level visibility, data dashboards, and measurable impact metrics.

Why Everyday Principal?

What makes Everyday Principal different is simple: we don’t just train leaders—we build leadership ecosystems. Our approach operates at every level—individual, school, and district—so principals aren’t left to figure it out alone.

By combining research-backed learning, live coaching, and system integration, we help districts replace fragmented PD with a cohesive framework that:

Strengthens leadership pipelines and retention.
Aligns principal growth directly with district priorities.
Creates sustainable systems for instructional and cultural excellence.

Everyday Principal isn’t a program you “complete.” It’s a catalyst for long-term change—a system designed to help leaders thrive every single day.
